Solaris open source! Author: BadcoffeeEmail: blog.oliver@gmail.comBlog: http://blog.9cbs.net/yayong2005年 March
Solaris open source is no longer the first time, but this time, it seems to be more close, the following text is from the official website of OpenSolaris:
The Solaris operating system is being released under the terms of the OSI-approved, Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) Version 1.0. Millions of development hours worth of code and over 1,600 patents are being contributed to the open source community. We know that INNOVATION HAPPENS EVERYWHERE. AND We're Going to Stand Shoulder To Shoulder With You. To Push Solaris. And Seeh How Far We - Together - Can Take IT.
What is the difference between CDDL instead of GPL, OpenSolaris? 1600 patents, including many of the latest patents, is it more effort than IBM.
But so far, you can't download code from Solaris, but Sun is to prove your determination, or provide Solaris10's most eye-catching technology DTRACE source code:
Soon, You'll Be Able To Download The OpenSolaris Distribution. For now - Just to Prove That We're Serious - We've Made Available The Source Code To DTRACE; It's Available Here Under The CDDL license.
DTRACE DOWNLOAD
Can OpenSolaris succeed in Linux and FreeBSD competition? Time will prove everything!
